_{A class in basic alloying of jewelry metals and simple casting methods will take place August 2008 in New Orleans LA.
Participants are limited to 12 students and the class is fee based. There is a materials fee attached to the students selection of metal(s).Topics covered will include alloying metals & karating, cuttlefish bone, delft clay and other manual casting methods excluding the lost wax and vacuum assisted processes.}

I am very new here and looking for some help. My background is in ceramics. I have only taken two classes in metal art. I would love any help with this. How do mass produce a metal version of an object made out of clay and what is the best metal to use if the object will be outside?

Wow! Thank you all for the generous compliments. To answer your questions: The piece is 17" x 21" x 1/4"thick. The original was sculpted in wax over a period of nine months, and the piece was cast in bronze.

Hello. I am new to this sort of thing. I have really enjoyed reading the many posts by what appears to be a dedicated group of artists. I am looking forward to learning from you all.

hi, my name is jay and i'm just getting into the hobby. These boards seem like a grat resource for all of my future endeavours, and i am soon going to be branching out from soapstone pewter casting to sand and possibly lost wax.
